Question

determine the amplitude or period. period of y=-5 sec x. am i looking for amplitude or period. this is confusing because it mentions both.

Answer 1

period=2pi.....amplitude=5. but which one is it wanting? it mentions both

Answer 2

well, it says find one or the other, but the next sentence says period, so I think that's the one they are looking for

Answer 3

me too, but amplitude and period is both answers in the multiple choice

Answer 4

isnt that stupid for the problem to mention both?

Answer 5

the choices have both on each choice?

Answer 6

yes, lol

Answer 7

2pi is an answer as well as 5 is an answer

Answer 8

hold on ill take i pic of it

Answer 9

it likely happened because the question is either randomly generated, and some people will get one on period, and some on amplitude

Answer 10

or because the instructions are the same for the next several questions

Answer 11
